He's feeding the hysteria with nothing. Who says the Rebel has to be perfect in order to exist? It only has to be better than CTV. Which isn't very hard. How many reporters does CTV have in Charlottesvile? It doesn't even compete.

Attorney Alan Dershowitz warned that radical "hard-left organizations" like anti-fascist groups are "trying to tear down America" by taking down statues of Confederate soldiers.

"Once you start rewriting history of African-Americans in this country, you have to start rewriting history of discrimination against many, many other groups," Dershowitz, who is an opinion contributor to The Hill, said Tuesday on "Fox & Friends."

"Look, we’re both a nation of immigrants and a nation of discrimination against immigrants. That’s an important history for us to remember. And the other important thing is do not glorify the violent people who are now tearing down the statues," he continued.

"Many of these people, not all of them, many of these people are trying to tear down America. A radical American, anti-free market communist, socialist, hard-left organization that tries to stop speakers on campuses from speaking. They use violence and just because they’re opposed to fascism and to some of these monuments shouldn’t make them heroes of the liberals."

A recent NPR/PBS/Marist University poll conducted after the deadly violence at a white supremacist rally in Charlottesville last week showed that 62 percent of respondents said that statues honoring leaders of the Confederacy should not be removed, with 27 percent saying they should be removed and 11 percent not sure.

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and Sen. Cory Booker (D-N.J.) have called for the removal of Confederate monuments in the Capitol.

"I have nothing" ...yet Ez is saying his site needs a reboot, he is saying that what went down in C'ville was wrong , editors/writers he employs are saying there are grave concerns and have left, advertisers have fled leaving Ez in a serious hole....

But I got nothing. LOL !

If thats nothing, then I have everything. What a completely stupid thing to say.

Dershowitz is no dummy. But then again, this has nothing to do with what we are talking about.
You do try to muddle things for some strange reason.

I can't attest to its validity. But if you read even the first few paragraphs, you can see the state of mind that it comes out of, and we probably know that there's only one place where that particular mental disease flourishes -- on university campuses.

It's an extremely racist document. It gets to the point of reducing the white male population. That not something that the NDP has gotten to yet. The important thing to understand that this is something that is an almost 100% supported by white suburbanites. Wingnuts, like TC.

It's not nice to put words in peoples' mouths. The most that can be implied from what I said is that The Rebel fills a void. It covers interesting stuff that the mainstream media only use to propagandize. The Charlottesville incident is a case in point.

It's not the only thing they do, but they provide a worthy service just there.

Whereas you try to stir up the frenzy. I got news for you -- nobody much cares.

3 pages of your defence of Rebel is now...it just fills a void?
Oh...k :)

HAha...3 pages of defence and now nobody cares.

Psst....you care ...a LOT, otherwise why defend.

Am I glad to see him stumble for the third time? Sure, but only because he too (like you) happened to fall on the sword he brandished.
Beyond that ? Not much. Way too much to do in this city to worry about some westerner grovelling in Toronto for forgiveness.

But that isn't what I am about with these posts. I come on here to post more graphic sides of what is happening. You can carry on your witchhunt if you want. Your side has had some success with it. I understand that this means there'll be more of it.

This is what I want to add so people can form their own impression of the crowd at these rallies.

In this video, for instance, you can watch a free speech advocate at the Boston free speech rally debating with some opponents. It isn't clear that they're Antifa because (I think) Antifa has become more than the masked fighters in black -- well, half of the fighters are women -- and start the heavy physical intimidation.

These people are probably pretty powerful in person, but they don't get violent. If anything, they provoke attacks on themselves, I would judge. If some pushng and shoving starts, probably that person is swarmed by the masked people we're more familiar with, and that's when it gets violent.

I think the 'verbal skirmishers' standing around just shout and chant and try to make people feel bad about themselves.

TC is welcome, of course, to comment. It is simply a camera running following a debate at the free speech rally in Boston. The title is 'pimped up' as clickbait. There is no violence.

I make no comment other than a sociological observation. This is a mass delusion. The Antifa genuinely believe that the whole of history -- certainly the modern era -- has been nothing but a big plot of men vs women, whites vs non-whites, tall vs short, straight vs homosexual, in which the tall straight white guys had everyone else fooled, and ended up with all the money and most of the ... ahem .., "pussy" ... (I hope that's not cultural appropriation!) ... and the best cars. And let's face it, that part of it is true.

But it collides with ordinary people's experience. Most people certainly feel weighed down by obligations that they owe loved ones. The guy who goes to the office as a supervisor does it for his wife and family (or used to) just as the call center guy and the coffee pourer at Hortons. People work extra hours so their kid can go to college or the orthodontist. That is, to get things. It keeps them plenty busy, but it doesn't seem like oppression to them. And the further back you go, the less oppressive it seemed. At least since any of us have been alive.

Let me describe the hitherto voiceless thoughts of the tall straight white male, as he walks through this demonstration ...

Quote:

What do they mean "white privilege"? I''m white and I dont have any privledges! Antifa just won't accept that any part of today's world is because the tall straight white males worked harder and smarter and for longer and in a more disciplined way than men have ever worked on earth before, and more or less made the modern world! They want to denigrate us, and treat us as if we did something wrong because of our history.

Besides, it wasn't completely true about the pussy. But if tall straight white males didn't earn their way, who the hell did?

That feeling is what's at the core of what is called the "alt-right". It isn't white supremacist, but it gets those guys excited. Some part of it is quite liberal, and a lot of young people like the basic ideas. It can come out as an attitude to stop the nonsense, all these groups should start making Ameirca Great Again ... except for Donald Trump, that is.

It's the emergence of a white racial consciousness and it is a reaction to a racial guilt that is being generated by multiculturalists. They feel that whatever racial debts there ever were have been paid off.

At a minimum, it demands that those who blame whites for everything justify their claims. But racial consciousness is difficult to stamp out (I would imagine). Force can be a multiplier. I make no judgement on the politics of it. I just say -- I think I did a pretty good job of expressing the emotion behind the Alt right, which has been shattered before this, but is no more. It doesn't mean I support anything. It's in another country whose politics I routinely watch, that's all.

He's considered Canada's founding father, but many Ontario teachers want his name stripped from public schoolsTeachers' union votes to urge school boards to remove John A. Macdonald's name from public schools

The Elementary Teachers' Federation of Ontario has voted to urge school boards to remove John A. Macdonald's name from public schools, such as this one in Waterloo, Ont.

As U.S. legislators mull the removal of statues seen by many as painful reminders of the darker moments in American history, a similar debate is playing out in Ontario over whether public schools should bear the names of Canadian figures associated with this country's legacy around the treatment of Indigenous communities.

That debate hit the floor of a meeting by the Elementary Teachers' Federation of Ontario days ago, ending with a resolution to urge school boards across the province to consider removing the name of Canada's first prime minister — Sir John A. Macdonald — from public schools.
